There are countless famous mountains in the world. Why do emperors and sentient beings of all ages respect Mount Tai, the East Mountain?
Legend has it that a long time ago, when the world was just formed and heaven and earth were just separated, there was a man named Pangu who grew up between heaven and earth. The sky rises ten feet a day, the earth grows ten feet a day and Pangu grows one foot a day. So day after day, year after year, he lived tenaciously. After 18,000 years, the sky is extremely high, the earth is extremely thick, Pangu grows extremely high, and his breath is vaporized into wind. . .
Later, Pangu slowly grew old and finally passed away. In an instant, the giant fell to the ground, his head became Dongyue, his abdomen became Zhongyue, his left arm became Nanyue, his right arm became Beiyue, his feet became Xiyue, his eyes became the sun and the moon, his hair became vegetation, and his oil became rivers.
Because Pangu created the world, later generations respected him as the ancestor of mankind, and his head became Mount Tai, so Mount Tai was called the supreme "the first mountain in the world" and became the head of the five mountains.
